Watching her transformation from a carefree traveler to a woman battling for her life keeps audiences cheering for her survival despite the challenges on Afdah. While the characters could benefit from further development, Petsch effectively utilizes her role to engage viewers. Froy Gutierrez faces the challenge of portraying the protective boyfriend Ryan. At his peak, he complements Petsch’s portrayal as her supportive partner. However, some scenes of Ryan gazing longingly at Maya risk reducing him to mere eye candy.

Nonetheless, both leads exhibit promising potential that could blossom as their narrative unfolds. Madelaine Petsch teases a promising future for her survival skills as the final girl.
